Don't say it, maybe Sister Tang is still hiding behind the willow tree at this time and looking at the hall here!

Gu Zizhong suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the willow tree.

Guo Gongzi, Gu Wangye, and Mrs. Gu all followed Gu Zizhong's gaze.

Nothing.

Gu Zizhong blushed shyly, waved his hand at his parents, and pouted.

Gu Wangye looked helpless, waved his hand to his daughter and said, "Okay, there are distinguished guests at home today, don't mess around." ”

Gu Zizhong let out a coquettish "oh" and said, "I know." ”

Gu Wangye smiled and said, "Gongzi Guo, is there something wrong with the emperor sending you this time?"

Guo Gongzi pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that you are a very sincere person, and you are also a very sincere person. ”

"Hmm. Gu Wang Ye listened carefully, but his face suddenly became solemn.

People have been laying the groundwork for a long time, just for something important in the future, right?

Guo Gongzi looked at Gu Zizhong from time to time, squinted and then turned his face back, and continued to say to Gu Wangye with a smile.

Gu Wang Ye paid attention to the expressions of others, and felt more and more bad in his heart.

Guo Gongzi took out a red dragon box behind him: "This is the holy decree sent by the emperor to send his courtiers." ”

"Oh. Gu Wangye's face became more and more solemn, and the whole person became more and more nervous.

Guo Gongzi continued: "This, it's better for the county lord to take the order!"

Gu Zi pointed to his face and frowned, "Why me?"

Gu Wang Ye slapped his thigh: "Presumptuous, in front of the holy decree, you must not be rude." The holy decree is like the Holy One, and whoever the Holy One asks to take it will have to take it. ”

Gu Zizhong had no choice but to get up, knelt down very skillfully, and bowed his head to accept the order.

She received so many orders in her previous life that she was used to this action.

Gu Wang Ye and Mrs. Gu seemed to be very surprised that their daughter actually knew so many rules.

Guo Gongzi put the box aside, got up and helped Gu Zizhong up.

Gu Zizhong was puzzled: "Why, doesn't the son recite the holy decree?"

Guo Gongzi thought for a while and said, "Actually, the emperor told me before he sent me, and asked me to tell Lord Gu. There are two holy decrees in this box, and I ask the county lord Gu to consider it carefully, and then make a decision after thinking about it. ”

Gu Zizhong was curious: "What, do you still want me to choose a holy decree?"

Guo Gongzi affirmed: "Naturally, the emperor has given you a choice for Lord Gu." The emperor also told me about the contents of these two holy decrees. One is to give you to Yan Pingnan, and the two of you will get married in Beijing. The second way is to allow you and Zhu Changxi and Zhu Shizi to return to Jinling to complete their marriage. ”

This sentence hit Gu Zizhong's head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

She didn't even react, and she didn't know what was going on!

Didn't the emperor already promise to let her go back to Jinling?

How could it be...... What about backsliding?

The emperor is a person......

Gu Zizhong was very reluctant and didn't want to answer.

Gu Wangye hurriedly whispered: "Zizhong, take the order quickly." ”

The more his father urged like this, the more Gu Zizhong didn't want to reply.

Guo Gongzi waved his hand at Gu Wangye and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's not a big deal, so it doesn't have to be so formal." The emperor also said that after Lord Gu chose one of them, he asked me to burn the other holy decree. Only a few of us know about this, and no one else knows. ”

The emperor is afraid of losing face, so he came up with such a method, right?

Yan Pingnan and Zhu Lequan are important ministers around the emperor, after all, the emperor promised others, but later changed his words, which is somewhat inauthentic.

Gu Zizhong understood that the emperor's face was more important than anything.

The emperor once promised to marry Gu Zizhong to Yan Pingnan.

Then it changed again.

This one...... Alas......

Gu Zizhong could only sigh that his fate was in trouble.

She had no choice but to accept her fate.

Since the emperor has done this, what else can she do?

She turned her gaze to the box on the side, and she really didn't know the bottom of it.

The emperor is still human, and he handed over Gu Zizhong's happiness to God.

Let God decide.

If Gu Zizhong chose Yan Pingnan's holy decree, and such words were spread, the emperor could not be blamed, after all, this was Gu Zizhong's own choice.

If Gu Zizhong chooses Zhu Changxi, then the emperor will have an explanation in Yan Pingnan.

The decree has not yet been delivered, so it cannot be divulged yet.

When Guo Gongzi burned the holy decree, no one knew what was going on.

The emperor also has the confidence to tell others about this, and others have to believe it, and if they don't believe it, they have to believe it.

Who made you the emperor!

So that's how it works.

Gu Zizhong also has no principles.

She was about to speak, but suddenly heard Feng Ming say outside: "Zhu Shizi is here." ”

Feng Ming was also too anxious, standing behind Gu Wangye, trying his best to suppress his voice, but he still let Gu Zizhong and Guo Gongzi hear it.

Guo Gongzi smiled and said, "Oh, there are guests coming, then I'll wait for a while." ”

Gu Wangye said with a straight face: "If it's not in the way, Guo Gongzi will read the holy decree first." ”

Guo Gongzi waved his hand and said: "This matter is a big deal, so the emperor also told the county lord Gu to give him enough time to think and let the county lord Gu make the best decision." So I'm not in a hurry, let's invite the guests in first. ”

Gu Wangye had no choice but to ask Feng Ming to invite Zhu Shizi in.

Zhu Changxi came in with big strides, and as soon as he entered the hall, he straightened his chest and looked around, as if he was searching for something.

Gu Zi got up again, stared at Zhu Shizi and said, "Lord Shizi, come here." ”

Zhu Changxi said: "County lord, uncle, aunt." Chang Xi came today because he had something important to say to Lord Gu. ”

Gu Wangye also asked Zhu Shizi to come in and sit down.

Zhu Changxi turned his gaze to Guo Gongzi, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo, why are you here?"

The two of them know each other?

Gu Zizhong was curious, and Zhu Changxi had already sat down beside Guo Gongzi.

Guo Gongzi said: "I came today on official business. I don't know ...... Brother Zhu."

People knew in their hearts that the matter of the Holy Decree had something to do with Zhu Shizi, so the words were quite vague, and it was not easy to say much.

Although the two have met many times to drink wine and tea, and they have a good relationship, they can't be casual in front of the holy decree.

Guo Gongzi closed his mouth after being polite.

Gu Zi said solemnly: "Zhu Shizi, why did you think of coming over suddenly? ”

Zhu Shizi said: "Oh, I actually heard about something today, and I couldn't let go of it in my heart, so I came over to take a look." However, I didn't expect that there were distinguished guests in your house today, so it was a bit rude. ”

What does this say.

As long as he could see Zhu Shizi, Gu Zizhong was very happy.
